Events and webinars

Due diligence has attracted substantial attention from both scholars and managers across various dimensions in recent years. In this webinar, high-level speakers such as Prof. Andreas Rasche, Prof. Stefan Seuring and Prof. Miriam Wilhelm will present the latest insights from leading research projects and outline practical steps for managing supply chains.

The OECD Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights require companies to conduct human rights and environmental due diligence. Many companies have turned to voluntary sustainability standards and related assurance schemes to support their due diligence efforts. However, many of these assurance schemes have been criticized for failing to deliver positive outcomes for (potentially) affected rightsholders.
